DescriptionSTEREO and SDO see the entire sun.jpg	English: Since their launch in 2006, the two STEREO spacecraft have drifted further and further apart to gain different views of the sun. By providing such unique viewpoints, the STEREO mission has offered scientists the ability to see all sides of the sun simultaneously for the first time in history, augmented with a view from the earth's perspective by NASA's earth-orbiting Solar Dynamics Observatory (SDO). In addition to giving researchers a view of active regions on the sun before they even come over the horizon, combining two views is crucial for three-dimensional observations of the giant filaments that dance off the sun's surface or the massive eruptions of solar material known as coronal mass ejections (CMEs).
